Last week, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced that the Houthis would be officially removed from Washington’s list of terrorist organizations, effective February 16, 2021, hoping that this decision would support the humanitarian efforts in Yemen.
These contradictory moves between the two administrations raise questions about the implications of the classification and its impact on the path of the political solution that the Yemenis aspire to reach, to end the war that left thousands dead and wounded, and made “Yemen” at the forefront of poor countries, while the “Houthis” terrorists are still obstructing negotiations Peace, and they practice criminal and terrorist acts on a daily basis, and they are working to divide Yemeni society. They target innocent civilians and vital and civilian installations within the territories of “Saudi Arabia” with missiles and drones from Iran.
The “International Observatory for Documenting Human Rights Violations” believes that the American step announced by the US Secretary of State to remove the “Houthi” killers from the list of terrorism will allow them to continue fomenting terrorism around the world.
The Observatory is surprised at how the Foreign Minister insists on going ahead with the implementation of the step despite the “United States” condemning the recent drone attack on the Saudi “Abha” airport, although it is not the first time that the airport and civilian institutions in “Saudi Arabia” have been targeted. By this terrorist group overtly supported by “Iran”.
The International Observatory for Documenting Human Rights Violations denounces the US administration’s decision, and will send official letters of protest through the diplomatic channels of the US administration, and it will ask the international community with all its bodies and institutions, and the governments of the world countries, especially those who are obligated to protect human rights, to approve the classification of the two groups (Houthis) in “Yemen” and (Hezbollah) in “Lebanon” as criminal, transnational terrorist organizations, in order to track Iranian terrorism across the world and combat it wherever it is found.
The Observatory affirms that an end must be made to the regime sponsoring terrorism in (Iran) in accordance with international law to stop the financing of terrorism, which is now targeting all nations, and that the missiles and crimes of (the Houthis) and the (Hezbollah) terrorist networks in European and Latin American countries that are arrested are the best evidence of (Iran’s) subversive policy that threatens international peace and security.
The Observatory reminds the undeniable fact that “Iran” sponsors and supports the “Houthis” terrorists, and the “Houthis” practice organized terrorism against civilians in “Yemen” and “Saudi Arabia.”
The “observatory” also considers that “Saudi Arabia” is one of the first countries to actually and realistically top the principles of combating terrorism in accordance with international law. For this reason, the “Kingdom” is subjected to continuous targeting, and campaigns of incitement, defamation, abuse and falsification of facts, instead of giving thanks and gratitude for what it does .
